"It was an up-all-month job," Whedon said of writing the script. "Finding the characters' voices was not only easy, but glorious fun - it doesn't suck to write Tony Stark - yet finding the structure was just brutal. I haven't had that much trouble making a screenplay work since Serenity, and embarrassingly, for the exact same reason: there's just too many characters."

The director went on to describe a darker side of the actors when they were distracted on set. "When I had everybody on screen, you really saw an uglier side of all these guys, because they would not stop chatting," Whedon said "Giggle giggle giggle, chat chat chat. Literally the only time I raised my voice when were filming was because these guys would not shut up and we had to roll. Don't get me wrong - you would see them standing next to each other going, 'Is his costume cooler? Are his muscles bigger?' But every single one of them was rooting for the other."

Evans described geeking out when in a scene with the fully costumed Thor and Iron Man. "The first time I came on set and saw other people in costume, it was a night-time scene in the woods and it involved myself, Chris Hemsworth and Downey Jr," the actor told Empire. "I had just seen THOR maybe two nights before, so I got on set and I saw Hemsworth in the cape and immediately thought, 'God, there's Thor, I'm looking at Thor,' and then I saw Downey Jr. in the suit. It's amazing. The kid in me would say, 'I didn't get to act with Robert Downey Jr., I got to act with Iron Man.' I'd never had that before, where I had seen actors in a film that I was not a part of and then come to work and help them to extend that character's life. It's like being a little kid."

"I can tell you nothing about Dark Knight Rises, seriously,” the actor told ShowBizSpy. "I was on set for maybe an hour-and-a-half and the director didn’t tell me anything of what it’s about. So, I’m being very honest when I say I have no idea what’s going to happen."

Meanwhile, Christian Bale spoke with the New York Daily News about his final hurrah as the Caped Crusader and revealed Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli's "Batman: Year One" was pivotal to his understanding of the role.

"Suddenly, I found Batman has so many issues, he’s not a healthy individual, this is somebody that is doing good, but he’s right on the verge of doing bad," Bale told the Daily News. "He’s got that killer within him that he’s desperately not trying to let off his leash. And that’s what I always return to."

OSCAR NOMINEES REVEALED

It's that time again -- the Oscar nominees have been announced, but there's not a lot of love here for comic fans. Despite winning the Golden Globe for Best Animated Film, "The Adventures of Tintin" is nowhere to be seen in the Oscar category. "Hugo" got a Best Picture nod and we now live in a world where Jonah Hill has been nominated for an Academy Award. Even "The Muppets" got a little love as one of two nominees in Best Original Song -- Bret McKenzie's "Man or Muppet" is up against "Real in Rio" from "Rio."
